In 431 BC, the mercenary Kassandra entered the Epidaurus Guesthouse and interrupted Mydon as he was kissing Marika, and she interrogated them about the Spartan woman Myrrine. Marika spoke for her mute master, telling Kassandra about Myrrine's past and Chrysis' involvement in the kidnapping of her child Alexios. However, she hesitated about telling Kassandra more about Chrysis due to her fear that Chrysis would kill her, and Kassandra headed out by herself to kill Chrysis.
